Me too, me too! Step is my absolute fav, and I feel I don't have enough variety 'cause after doing Cathe's, no one else can compare!!!! More please!

Putting in my two cents too...since I have time for only 60 minutes (& also don't like working out less than that amount of time), I find that I put those longer w/o's on the back burner and don't get the chance to do them as often. I'd love the 60-minute w/o's w/options to make them longer...

With their topic being "boomeritis" it's a shame that they didn't interview YOU about your recent surgery and how you've successfully gotten back into it! Bette

I hope someone can help me (I believe I've seen this asked & answered here before). Does anyone know where to purchase a replacement platform top for The Step? I really don't need more risers but would like to replace my platform as the rubber mat is coming off (again). Thanks! Bette

Lots of good advice here! Thankfully, I am now fully menopausal after having gone thru perimenopause for about TEN years! The night sweats were the absolute worst, and I sympathize with you immensely. I just wanted to add to listen to your body; as much as the w/o's helped me, I, too, needed...

Thanks so much for the suggestions. I should have mentioned that I already have the PowerStrike w/o's. I like them even tho' I like Cathe's more! Imagine that!!! Thanks again! Bette

I have all of Cathe's workouts and will preorder her new ones too. While I'll do the HiLo when incorporated into the step w/o's, I always dread them & find myself not even wanting to do those w/o's if there is HiLo incorporated. Thanks for any other w/o suggestions! Bette

I am excited about Cathe's forthcoming DVDs; however, I am finding that I could use more new cardio than weight training or circuit training. I do not care for HiLo cardio at all, but love doing advanced step or kickbox. I have even thought of purchasing Power Yoga DVDs. Could anyone...

I realize you have already received a lot of suggestions, but I wanted to share what worked for me. More than anything else, really concentrating on holding in my abs worked wonders. I went from being able to do only knee pushups to now being able to do about 20 full body ones. I now find...

me too! me too! Even tho' I don't always use the same weight, it helps me to know whether to pick up a 12 pounder if Cathe's using a 15 or a 15 when she's using a 20 until I can get there!! Additionally, having the weight amounts listed on the outside packaging would also help so that we can...

Thank you (I think) Ashley. I, too, have been on websites and don't like the idea of not being able to w/o for eight weeks;( ! I'm still in denial that I may have to have this done and am hopeful that if I do, I will be able to do high-impact cardio after recovery. I really appreciate the...

Thank you SO much for your reply CurlyQ! I haven't done any stepping/cardio since Monday, & the swelling & pain seem to have lessened a bit. It's driving me crazy, tho', since I love the cardio much more than weights. I had already thought I could continue w/weights tho'. I'm going to try to...

Thanks for your reply, Bobbi. Just wondering, tho' ... how long were you unable to work out? How long were you out of work? Any others out there with similar problems? THANKS again! Bette

I'm afraid that I may have to have surgery to remove bunions. I am also afraid I would go absolutely crazy if I can't work out. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how long was recovery and are you now able to jump, high-impact, while stepping, kickboxing, etc.? Thanks! Bette

I, too, am unable to get FitTV and would love for them to be available on Dish Network. I work out five - six days/week @ 4:30 a.m. but LOVE your videos/DVDs so much that I'm sure I would continue w/them & watch FitTV @ other times. I would be interested in many topics including form pointers...
